Warriors reportedly considering acquiring Anthony Davis! Limited assets require third-party involvement, Hawks emerge as strongest competitor

On December 27 Beijing time, reporter Haynes shared the latest updates on Anthony Davis trade talks in his recent show. Here is his report—

"Sources tell me that the Atlanta Hawks remain highly interested in acquiring Anthony Davis via trade. Among all the teams involved, the Hawks’ package is quite attractive, which could make this deal very intriguing."

"However, considering Davis’s current career stage, with his contract covering this season and next, followed by a player option to become a free agent, any team wanting to acquire him must seriously consider offering a contract extension."

"It is reported that if the Hawks reach a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, Trae Young will not be included in the trade. The Mavericks are likely to demand expiring contracts, young assets, draft picks, and may even request last year’s top pick, Richaun Holmes."

"In summary, the potential trade between the Hawks and Mavericks is a key development to watch before the trade deadline."

"I also uncovered an interesting piece of news today. Last week, I mentioned that the Warriors have been searching for an interior player—someone who can attack the rim, protect the paint, and finish alley-oops. Now there are reports that they are considering pushing forward with a trade to acquire Anthony Davis."

"However, the Mavericks are not very interested in the Warriors’ current trade package. So, if the Warriors truly want to pursue Davis aggressively, they will likely need to add more assets or involve a third team in the deal."

"Ultimately, the Warriors are trying every possible way to secure a dominant starting big man for the second half of the season, someone who can strengthen their defense and support Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in their championship pursuit."

"Regarding Jonathan Kuminga, we have been monitoring his situation all season. He started as the Warriors’ starting small forward and played well early on but then suffered injuries. After returning, his playing time has been inconsistent, and recently he has fallen out of the rotation altogether."

"This has been a very frustrating year for Kuminga. Some competing teams believe that after January 15, Kuminga will be eligible for trade, and they expect that by the deadline, he will no longer be with the Warriors. So his future is definitely something to watch as time goes on."

"Kuminga himself is reportedly very disappointed and has had multiple conversations with Steve Kerr, but they have not reached an agreement. Therefore, league executives generally expect that after January 15, Kuminga will be traded away from the Warriors."
